I want to start off by saying this is a breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL VENUE, and unlike The grove in Redlands it allows you to carry your event until 12am. I was a bride in October of 2023 booked fairly early in May of 2022. I felt like we found our dream, well that dream quickly turned sour when at our 60 day meeting with the venue to give final payment they dropped all these restrictions, and added on fees. By this time it's too late to change your mind, we were stuck paying and getting all the things they presented. Went from giving final payment to still owing about 1000 dollars.
A CONVERSATION WITH THE OWNER: After realizing she also owns the catering company and I was already on the phone with her to discuss concerns about catering, this woman is both arrogant and condescending. I wasn't looking for compensation for the concerns I had with the venue but figured, hey why not let you know what happened she met my concerns with “ Well I have never heard these concerns before” and “I would think people arrive on time to a wedding” after telling her about the poor lit driving pathway at night, and the shuttle stopping midway through the event. she proceeded to say she had to investigate and would let me know her “findings”, proceed to call me back.
All in all I wasn't going to do this review, but I felt I had to warn the future brides, just GET INFORMED. This is a day I'll never get to re-do, and I'm so sad all these things took place and I'm saddened at how it was all handled afterward. I would like to add that I mostly dealt with Jett who was never rude, and courteous when it came to my concerns, anything he couldnt help with was turned over to Brandi who we had to discuss with all these added on fees with we ended up not paying for the grooms and bridal suite, not like it mattered we didn't use them they are not left open for you during the event the coordinator has the keys I didnt even set foot in the bridal suite, we did use the grooms suite to hide before our grand entrance we were in there for a total of maybe ten minutes, she stated they would “eat the cost” for the shuttle service because we were originally told it was included but again it stopped bringing guests up to the venue 30 minutes after the event started. We had to pay the bar service fee and we had to pay for the water station. All in all JUST GET INFORMED. This venue is so beautiful and as long as you're prepared for all these things, have some good communication, and they give the opportunity to book YOUR OWN CATERING COMPANY, it may be worth it, for me it's done and over with but good luck to the next bride...
Read moreEver since we found Windmill Canyon Ranch a few years ago, we couldn’t get it out of our minds. It has that perfect ranch feel we always wanted, but it’s also so easy to make modern and elegant, which was what we wanted. When it came time to plan our wedding, we knew this was the one. Nothing else even came close.
From start to finish, the staff was amazing. Jett was so helpful and patient, always quick to answer any questions we had, and the day-of team was seriously incredible. They were so organized and attentive that if anything went wrong, we had no idea because everything felt seamless and stress-free. We honestly can’t thank them enough for helping make our day feel so easy and special.
Since we live in Oregon, planning a wedding from out of state could’ve been tricky, but they made the whole process smooth. They were super accommodating with phone calls, payments, and updates, which made us feel so taken care of even from far away.
We’d also highly recommend booking the groomsmen suite if you’re getting ready at the venue. It has tons of space and great lighting, especially for photos. Another huge plus was their on-site “decor store,” which saved us a ton of money and stress while still making everything look exactly how we envisioned.
Windmill Canyon Ranch gave us the most beautiful, relaxed, and unforgettable wedding day. We’re so grateful to everyone there for making it all come together perfectly. If you’re considering this venue, do it. You...
Read moreMy daughter lives in Virginia, and she planned this wedding from there. She works full time, and is a full time student. Her plans were not as detailed as some, she mainly focused on the vibe she was going for. Paige was just amazing!! Paige and her staff made this a seamless and beautiful event. None of them were stressed or worried, they all had smiles on their faces and wanting to accommodate the bride and groom in anyway they could. Every time I approached someone with a problem, they smiled and said "No problem!" and proceeded to make it all perfect. The facility is amazing, truly a hidden gem in the hills of Beaumont. Everyone kept remarking on what a beautiful venue this was and how did we ever find such an amazing place. We visited venues in Temecula, San Diego and Orange County. I was unhappy with their prices and all of them had that gorgeous wedding dress exposed to dirt paths. Windmill Canyon Ranch has beautifully paved floors, and they are cleaned before the guests arrive. The lighting inside the barn is romantic and beautiful. The sunset photos on the hill overlooking the valley was priceless. Well worth...
